Based on management’s estimates of ultimate revenue as of December 31, 2011, approximately $896 million
of film and television costs associated with our original film and television productions that are released, or
completed and not yet released, are expected to be amortized during 2012. Approximately 89% of
unamortized film and television costs for our released productions, excluding amounts allocated to acquired
libraries, are expected to be amortized through 2014.
As of December 31, 2011, acquired film and television libraries, which are included within Released, less
amortization in the table above, had remaining unamortized costs of approximately $1.0 billion. These costs
are generally amortized over a period not to exceed 20 years, and approximately 43% of these costs are
expected to be amortized through 2014.
